This year’s eclectic Rock And Roll Hall of Fame class was announced live on ‘American Idol’ tonight. Here are the eight very different inductees.
The inductees for the 2024 Rock And Roll Hall of Fame class were announced live tonight on American Idol. As always, this year was a competitive group. Also, as is often the case with the Rock Hall, this year’s honorees are an eclectic class, ranging from heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, in for the second time (the first time being as the frontman for the legendary Black Sabbath) to R&B diva Mary J. Blige.
The inductees cover all genres and many eras. Here is the full list of inductees.
Peter Frampton
The ‘70s icon, who came from the British band Humble Pie, helped define the decade with his seminal Frampton Comes Alive. The double album was the best-selling record of 1976. It has since sold over eight million albums. While that is Frampton’s best-known work, the guitar hero, who is still on tour this year, has worked with his close friend, David Bowie, as well as other luminaries like Dolly Parton and Ringo Starr.
Ozzy Osbourne
As mentioned, Osbourne is already a member of the Rock Hall. Now he has earned a second trip into the Hall for his solo work, including the early ‘80s albums, Blizzrad of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, featuring the late guitar legend, Randy Rhoads.
